Story of the game: Mornar are one of the season’s sensations in the ABA League and they want to continue their march to the ABA League Playoffs. Currently they are occupying the fourth place in the standings alone with 8 victories on their record, one more than their competition FMP, Partizan NIS and Zadar. A new win against Petrol Olimpija at home court would help them a lot in the battle.
On the other side, Petrol Olimpija are currently, together with Mega Bemax, sharing the last before last place and they need a victory in order to climb away from the danger zone and MZT Skopje Aerodrom, which are currenly last placed with 3 wins less than Ljubljana side.
The current shape is on the side of Mornar, which have won three times in a row, while Petrol Olimpija have written down five consecutive defeats.
Match-up in focus: Two big men that like to jump high, dunk the ball down aggressively and block opponents when they attempt doing so are about to face one another in Topolica this time! Uroš Luković will stand against Jordan Morgan. What a battle!
Head to head in regional league: In total 2:1; In Bar 1:0.
